TICKETS GO ON SALE THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 1 FOR MIRÓ EXHIBITION AT SEATTLE ART MUSEUM

HOW: Tickets will be available for purchase online at seattleartmuseum.org or in person at the Seattle Art Museum, 1300 First Avenue.

DETAILS: Miró: The Experience of Seeing is the first in-depth exhibition in the United States of Miró’s late work. With special attention paid to the artist’s captivating sculptures, the exhibition opens on February 13, 2014 and draws from the rich collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, the leading museum of modern and contemporary art in Spain.

This unique exhibition brings together some 50 paintings and sculptures made in the period between 1963 and 1981 that testify to the artist’s playful ingenuity and inventiveness, adding entirely new chapters to his artistic legacy. Although Miró had experimented with assemblage in earlier periods, it is only in this later period that he builds sculptures from found objects that are then cast in bronze. On view at SAM through May 25, 2104, visitors will experience a rare glimpse of the artist’s later work. Up-to-date information about Miró: The Experience of Seeing exhibition can be found on SAM’s website at seattleartmuseum.orgor by calling 206/654-3100.
